LEBRON JAMES SET TO AVERAGE FIRST TRIPLE-DOUBLE OF THIS GENERATION (PART 2)

In Part 1 of “LeBron James set to average first triple-double of this generation”, I discussed how James’ physique gives him the ultimate mismatch if he were to become the main distributor for the Miami Heat.

In an ESPN article I read the other day, Peter Keating stated,

James’ mind will be forced to adjust to a new set of variables in Miami. And they’re much, much better. In other words, the scoring probabilities of his teammates have risen to heights he’s never seen.”

Basically Keating believes that with James joining the Miami Heat squad, No.6 can help his team break records that are more unheard of than three superstars pairing up together (while in their prime) to play for one team.

Keating furthers his article to ask the ultimate question,

Is LeBron willing to trade personal glory for the sake of victory?”

After reading many articles on this same topic, it has become apparent that averaging the triple-double isn’t the biggest uncertainty with LeBron James anymore, it’s in fact his “ego”.

While “The Decision” was no short of an absolute disgrace, that cannot be factored into James’ potential to average a triple-double for 82 games.

Pushing his ego to the side

Like it or not, LeBron James made his decision to join the Miami Heat for one reason. On his one-hour ESPN special, the 25 year-old couldn’t stress enough how much winning championships meant to him.

With the Heat being a team that could arguably go down as one of the greatest ever assembled, LeBron James knows that he must push his ego to the side if he wants to accomplish his dream of capturing his first NBA title.

In March James stated,

Wade won't be the primary distributor?

No Lebron is a better passer.

It may not be by much though. Also, think about it, a 6 foot 8 250 lb point guard. A huge matchup nightmare.

Wade is better off ball

Although he passes extremely well, but Lebron James has exceptional court vision. I think that has gone unnoticed as people have pushed him into the “your the next michael” role. But in reality he is a willing and exceptional passer. I would love to see him diistribute and take on a Magic type role. Cant wait…
